Subaru XV Lease Deals

Unlike some other models, you don’t lose any boot space by choosing the hybrid-engined XV over its purely petrol-powered sibling. But at 385 litres, the car’s luggage capacity is a little less than average for a midsized SUV. However, it’s still fine for smaller families, or you can temporarily increase that to 765 litres by dropping the rear seats.

If you want a truly spacious Subaru, you really need to be looking at the larger Subaru Forester or the Outback Estate.

Elsewhere, space for occupants up front is generous and it’s easy to get a child seat (and accompanying child) into the back of the Subaru XV. Adult passengers in the back, however, may not enjoy the limited amount of headroom caused by the tapering roofline.

If fuel economy is a priority, then choosing to lease the 2.0-litre hybrid XV rather than 1.6-litre petrol model should be a no-brainer. The former a more powerful engine, making the car more capable and better to drive. It’s also more efficient thanks to its small electric motor and battery set-up.

The official number for the 1.6-litre is 35.3mpg, while the 2.0-litre returned 35.7mpg. The difference is marginal, but we’d recommend this option with everything considered. CO2 emissions are the same across the board, however, at 180g/km – which is about what you’d expect for a petrol engine car of this size.

Strong reliability has been a key factor in why Subaru has attracted such a loyal and devoted customer base in the UK over the years, and its latest models show no sign of dropping the ball in this area.

Not as much as you might think – just 385 litres with all seats in place, and 765 litres with them down.

Only 2, which are SE and SE Premium, but there is also the choice of 1.6-litre petrol or 2.0-litre hybrid power.

A system that applies the brakes automatically if it detects you’re about to reverse into something is standard across the range, while a reversing camera is added if you choose the 2.0-litre engine.

The 5-seater hatchback body shape means it can handle typical family duties with ease, but it doesn’t have the biggest boot capacity in its class and the back seats aren’t terribly comfortable for adults.

Like all Subarus, the XV will appeal if you want an unpretentious and capable car that focuses on getting the basics right. If you think paying over the odds for designer labels is silly, then the XV is your type of car.
